WELCOME TO WIKIPEDIA! EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE
 
Hello 0x0n and welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopædia anyone can edit! To get you started, I've included some of the very basics of Wikipedia and some useful links and guidelines for you in the box below.

Meanwhile, if you need any more help, please feel free to ask on my talk page or, if I'm not around, try asking at the help desk.

Regards,

EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME

 

Here are some of the basics I wish I'd known when I started:

  • Sign your posts on article's talk pages using four squiggles- ~~~~.
  • Use double brackets - [[ and ]] - to create a link to another article on Wikipedia. For example, to link to the Wikipedia article Four Dead in Five Seconds Gunfight, enter [[Four Dead in Five Seconds Gunfight]], which should produce Four Dead in Five Seconds Gunfight. Alternatively, you can use [[Four Dead in Five Seconds Gunfight|other page name]] to produce other page name.
  • Use single brackets to create an external link. For example, to link to Google, use [http://www.google.com] to produce [1] or [http://www.google.com Google] to produce a link to Google.
  • Use an accurate edit-summary - this helps distinguish your edits from vandalism and is a useful reminder to you later!
  • Don't revert a page more than three times - this is known as the three revert rule, and is designed to prevent edit wars. There are some exceptions to this, such as reverting blatant vandalism, but be prepared to apologise if you revert a genuine edit! See the Counter-vandalism Unit and vandalism for more information.

Most importantly, be bold, remain civil and enjoy yourself!

License tagging for Image:John Gay.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:John Gay.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:07, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Non-free files in your user space

edit

  Hey there 0x0n, thank you for your contributions! I am a bot, alerting you that non-free files are not allowed in user or talk space. I removed some files I found on User:0x0n/James Andrew Walsh.

  • See a log of files removed today here.
  • Shut off the bot here.
  • Report errors here.
  • If you have any questions, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.

Thank you, -- DASHBot (talk) 05:00, 1 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for uploading File:Jimmy_walsh_at_5.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris G Bot (talk) 01:56, 8 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Usually a bad idea to add links from this site, the one you added at Tacitus was a copyright violation. Dougweller (talk) 07:46, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:Walsh at 5.jpg

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:Walsh at 5.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Taylor book

So far as I can see he's an amateur and the book may be self-published - at the very least it isn't reliably published. Doug Weller talk 19:46, 1 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about that. I've replied on my talk page. We could use your help on archaeological articles and at WP:WikiProject Archaeology. Doug Weller talk 08:03, 3 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Massaliote Periplus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Massalia. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
